Compare Au Vodka Original 70cl and 1.5L Magnum by price per liter, serving size, and occasion to decide which bottle fits your needs.
Quick answer
For most home bars and smaller gatherings, the 70cl bottle offers the best value per glass. Choose the 1.5L Magnum when you need a large volume for parties or want a statement bottle for display.
Price per liter: the Magnum saves you more
At $45.98, the 1.5L Magnum works out to about $30.65 per liter, while the 70cl at $23.44 is about $33.49 per liter. That means the Magnum gives you roughly 9% more vodka for your money if you finish the whole bottle.
However, the savings only matter if you actually use the larger size. If you rarely host big groups, the extra volume might sit on your shelf longer than you'd like.
Serving size and occasions
A standard 70cl bottle pours about 16-17 shots (assuming 1.5 oz per shot). The 1.5L Magnum doubles that to roughly 33-34 shots, making it ideal for weddings, parties, or long weekends.
For a small dinner party or a personal stock, the 70cl is easier to store and doesn't commit you to a large quantity. For a big celebration, the Magnum reduces the number of bottles you need to buy and open.
Quality and taste are identical
Both bottles contain the same award-winning, five-times distilled vodka at 40% ABV. The flavor profile and smoothness are exactly the same, so your choice comes down to size and value, not quality.
The only difference is the bottle size itself. The Magnum's larger gold bottle makes a striking centerpiece, while the 70cl is more discreet and easier to handle.
Trade-offs to consider
- Value per liter: The 1.5L Magnum costs less per liter than the 70cl, so you save money if you drink the whole bottle. If you finish a bottle quickly, the Magnum is the better deal.
- Storage and handling: The 70cl is compact and fits standard shelves; the Magnum is tall and heavy, requiring more space and careful pouring. Check your shelf height and pouring comfort before choosing the Magnum.
- Occasion fit: The 70cl suits small get-togethers or personal use; the Magnum is ideal for parties, weddings, or as a gift centerpiece. Match the bottle size to the number of guests you typically host.
